Happy Halloween

This was a very good Halloween. I did not get to leave gifts for the dead and reconnect with loved-ones passed, but I got to enjoy it with my baby sister. She is so in love with Halloween she literally plans for it the day after. Halloween also happens to be my mother and step father's anniversary, so I offered to babysit.

Szadika, my baby sister, was a pink mummy fairy. That is the strangest combination, but there was seriously a costume for it, so of course my mother ordered it for her. She loved it though, and looked adorable. I did her makeup all "spooky" and did mine as well (I was a zombie). When I was applying my stage blood, her eyes grew wide and she asked me if she could have some too. I asked her if mummies have blood and she told me, "They do now!" She is such a funny little thing. So I put some stage blood on her face, lit the jack-o-lanterns, and we head out for our candy excursion.

There is a house that every year does a fantastic job of decorating their house. Seriously the man living there plans all year (much like my sister) for what his next decorating job will be. This year I have to say has been my favourite. His yard had "tombstones" and "zombies" and all kinds of spooky things. He set up a house of webs over is driveway and had a fog machine inside. You have to walk through that to get to him if you want any candy. My little sister though was too scared, so I asked him if I could do it for her, but he came to me instead. He walked over and we talked about his decorating. He gave her a handful of candy, then he turned off the fog machine and walked both me and my little sister through the web tunnel, so she would not be afraid.

She was afraid at first but quickly fell in love with everything and could hardly stand leaving. He gave her another handful of candy, and turned the fog machine back on. Her and I walked out and her gave us one last handful of candy, and wished us a happy Halloween. She was very pleased with herself for her stash of candy from the first house, and the fact that she over came her fears. We stopped at many different houses, hitting up about 4 blocks worth (oh yes, yes we did). Our last stop being our grandmother's house. We stopped there and she sat down munching on some candy, and soon fell asleep.

I walked home and took a shower, watching my zombie self go down the drain. All in all this was a very good Halloween. It is a wonder what a simple little time with a loved one can do. She is a ball of sunshine and I love her very much. My parents came home, they said they had a great time. Now here I am in bed, writing this blog post. Friends I want you to know that it does not take great feats or gobs of cash to bring happiness. I walked around with my little sister and enjoyed her company, and I feel great. Spend time with your friends and family because it is the people who care about you and love you the most that matter, only they can make you truly happy. I had a great Halloween, and I hope you did too. I will write later, good night.
